<<are you still bullish on ESIO?>> Yes, it's on my buy list. Just like the rest, some possible additional downside in the near term but it's gonna' rock in a year or so. It's cheap enough for me right now, but it is a nice place to diversify against one or two possible bankruptcies/technological slowdowns (I'm thinking of IPEC here) in the sector.
